What are some specific examples of the variables found in a semi truck accident?

A: Examples of variables found in a tractor-trailer accident:

• There are usually at least two insurance policies covering the accident.
• An accident with one tractor-trailer could bring in multiple defendants and therefore multiple liability insurance policies.
• A truck driver has a higher standard of care than most.
• There is automatic liability for some accidents under the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations.
• Negligent hiring may impose punitive damages on an employer.
• Deliberate use of unsafe equipment may substantially increase your award.
• A trucking company may not blame someone else for the accident if it operates  under a “public franchise.”
• There are specific rules on how to load a truck so its contents will not fall off.
• A truck has only 10 minutes to set out emergency signals after it becomes disabled.
